Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium Red onion (finely chopped)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Place the seared pork shoulder into a slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, gluten-free soy sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, minced garlic, and chopped red onion.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, stirring it into the barbecue sauce.
Allow the pork to absorb the flavors for an additional 10-15 minutes on the 'warm' setting.
Serve as desired in lettuce wraps, on gluten-free buns, or with a side of coleslaw.
